Description

The apparatus for diagnosing deterioration of exhaust sensor and deterioration diagnosis method
Technical field
The present invention relates to be arranged on the exhaust sensor in the exhaust channel of internal combustion engine, spy in order to detect exhaust gas composition The deterioration of the downstream exhaust sensor not being provided in the downstream of catalyst-assembly carry out the apparatus for diagnosing deterioration that diagnoses and Deterioration diagnosis method.
Background technology
Known a kind of air-fuel ratio control device, its in order to the air-fuel ratio of internal combustion engine is carried out feedback control and at internal combustion engine Exhaust channel has exhaust sensor (so-called wide area type air-fuel ratio sensor or oxygen sensor), and known following knot Structure, i.e. in order to improve the precision of air-fuel ration control, in the downstream of catalyst-assembly, also there is exhaust sensor.
This exhaust sensor, is likely to result in response and deteriorates, therefore work as premise due to deterioration or heat deterioration Go out and have various apparatus for diagnosing deterioration, Patent Document 1 discloses returing cycle based on output signal and carry out deterioration diagnosis Technology.Particularly, this returing cycle is i.e. sucked air capacity by the load of internal combustion engine to be affected, therefore, during the diagnosis of regulation The suction air capacity of interior accumulation is the biggest, and deterioration judging threshold value is set to the least value, bad more than this at the returing cycle detected When changing decision threshold, it is judged that deteriorate for exhaust sensor.
Above-mentioned apparatus for diagnosing deterioration of the prior art, is substantially based on following understanding: the output of exhaust sensor inverts A certain amount of aerofluxus (accumulated value) is needed to flow through exhaust sensor, therefore, if sucking air capacity (flow of time per unit) Relatively big, reach above-mentioned accumulated value the most corresponding thereto within a short period of time, thus by the deterioration judging relative to returing cycle Threshold value is set to less value.Additionally, the technology of patent documentation 1 using the exhaust sensor of the upstream side of catalyst as object.
But, for being arranged in the diagnosis of the downstream exhaust sensor in the downstream of catalyst-assembly, exhaust sensor The change of neighbouring exhaust gas composition is affected by the oxygen storage capacity of catalyst-assembly, and, because flowing through the aerofluxus of catalyst-assembly Flow velocity, can capacity (accumulated value) needed for the output reversion of left and right exhaust sensor.That is, according to the present inventor's New opinion, in the case of the exhaust sensor of downstream, if by the exhaust sensor in catalyst-assembly and downstream The flow velocity of aerofluxus is high, then need further amounts of aerofluxus (accumulated value) that the output of exhaust sensor just can be made to invert.In other words, if Suck air capacity (flow of time per unit) relatively big, then by the aerofluxus of catalyst-assembly and the exhaust sensor in downstream Flow velocity increases, and capacity (accumulated value) or suction air capacity (accumulated value) needed for 1 output reversion are the biggest.
In apparatus for diagnosing deterioration in the above prior art, do not account for the impact of above-mentioned flow velocity, it is impossible to carry out suitably The diagnosis of downstream exhaust sensor.

Summary of the invention
The present invention is the apparatus for diagnosing deterioration of a kind of exhaust sensor, and it is urged being configured in the exhaust channel of internal combustion engine The deterioration of the exhaust sensor in the downstream of agent device diagnoses, and the apparatus for diagnosing deterioration of this exhaust sensor has: threshold Value setup unit, it, corresponding to the suction air capacity of internal combustion engine, then sucks air capacity accumulation threshold so that this suction air capacity is the biggest The biggest characteristic, sets and sucks air capacity accumulation threshold;Setup unit during diagnosis, its from diagnosis start time to suction Air capacity is accumulated, when this accumulated value reaches above-mentioned suction air capacity accumulation threshold, during terminating diagnosis;And deterioration sentence Cell, its output reversion number of times based on the above-mentioned exhaust sensor in during this diagnosis, to above-mentioned exhaust sensor Deterioration judges.
The present invention is substantially based on the invention of following understanding, i.e. in the case of exhaust sensor does not deteriorate, aerofluxus The output reversion of sensor needs the accumulated value of the suction air capacity of ormal weight (that is, to pass through catalyst-assembly and downstream The gross exhaust gas of exhaust sensor).Accordingly, as until the accumulated value sucking air capacity reaches the suction air capacity accumulation of regulation The output reversion number of times of the exhaust sensor in during the diagnosis till threshold value, if exhaust sensor does not deteriorate, then can Obtain the reversion of stipulated number, but along with exhaust sensor deteriorates, its reversion number of times reduces, and is thus judged to deterioration.
Here, in the present invention, above-mentioned suction air capacity accumulation threshold is corresponding to sucking the air capacity (stream of time per unit Amount) and set, sucking air capacity is the most greatly that exhaust flow rate is the highest, sucks air capacity accumulation threshold and is set as the biggest.Thus, offset The impact of above-mentioned exhaust flow rate, it is possible to carry out more appropriate diagnosis.

Detailed description of the invention
Below, one embodiment of the present of invention is described in detail based on accompanying drawing.
Fig. 1 is shown with the gas handling system of the internal combustion engine of apparatus for diagnosing deterioration and the knot of gas extraction system that the present invention relates to Structure, using gasoline as in the spark-ignition internal combustion engine i.e. intake channel 2 of internal combustion engine 1 of fuel, be configured with throttler valve 3, and And, it is configured with at upstream side and will suck the mass air flow sensor 4 that air capacity is such as measured as mass flow.It addition, for Each cylinder, arranges the Fuelinjection nozzle 5 to tuned port injection fuel.
On the other hand, in the exhaust channel 6 extended to rear vehicle end, in the relatively upstream being equivalent to exhaust manifold collection portion The 1st catalyst-assembly 7 is installed in the position of side, and, pacify in the position be equivalent under vehicle floor being positioned at downstream in contrast Fill the 2nd catalyst-assembly 8, and via the deafener 9 in downstream, exhaust channel 6 front end opens to outside.Above-mentioned 1st catalyst Device 7 and above-mentioned 2nd catalyst-assembly 8 are constituted by three-way catalyst.And, in order to carry out air-fuel ratio feedback control, the 1st The upstream side of catalyst-assembly 7 arranges upstream side exhaust sensor 10, arranges downstream exhaust sensor 11 in downstream.These Exhaust sensor 10,11 can be the so-called wide area type air-fuel ratio sensor that can detect air-fuel ratio continuously, it is also possible to be Can obtain the oxygen sensor (O2 sensor) of the output representing dense, dilute, in the present embodiment, upstream side aerofluxus passes ON/OFF Sensor 10 is made up of wide area type air-fuel ratio sensor, and downstream exhaust sensor 11 is made up of oxygen sensor.
Detection signal and other not shown sensors of upstream side exhaust sensor 10 and downstream exhaust sensor 11 Together, input is to control unit of engine 12, as shown in known, so that the fuel injection amount of Fuelinjection nozzle 5 chases after for the signal of class With the mode of target air-fuel ratio (such as chemically correct fuel), carry out feedback control.Namely be based on the inspection of upstream side exhaust sensor 10 Surveying air-fuel ratio, theoretical air-fuel ratio correction coefficient, by being multiplied by this this air fuel ratio correction coefficient, to combustion in substantially fuel emitted dose Material emitted dose is corrected.The detection signal of downstream exhaust sensor 11 is for entering further above-mentioned air fuel ratio correction coefficient Row correction.It addition, above-mentioned downstream exhaust sensor 11 can make the response of exporting change drop because of deterioration or heat deterioration Low, accompany with this, the precise decreasing of air-fuel ration control, therefore, above-mentioned control unit of engine 12 carries out downstream aerofluxus sensing The diagnosis of the deterioration of device 11.Additionally, control unit of engine 12 the most also carries out the deterioration diagnosis of upstream side exhaust sensor 10, But this part is not the object of the present invention, and therefore the description thereof will be omitted.
Fig. 2 is the deterioration diagnosis illustrating the downstream exhaust sensor 11 performed by above-mentioned control unit of engine 12 The flow chart of reason flow process.
Program shown in this flow chart, performs, in step 1 repeatedly every predetermined time interval (such as every 10ms) In, it is determined that whether the conditions for diagnostics that can enter deterioration diagnosis is set up.As this conditions for diagnostics, such as, there are following 3: speed is more than Or equal to setting (such as 70km/h);Load change is in prescribed limit;The state meeting above 2 conditions is persistently more than Or equal to the stipulated time.In the invalid situation of this conditions for diagnostics (or the midway invalid situation of this conditions for diagnostics in diagnosis) Under, enter step 2, aftermentioned parameter is i.e. sucked air capacity accumulated value QMtotal, sucks air capacity meansigma methods QMav and downstream The output reversion times N of exhaust sensor 11 initializes respectively, terminates program.
If conditions for diagnostics is set up in step 1, then enter step 3, carry out the fortune of the multiple parameters used in diagnosis Calculate.1 is the flow to the suction air capacity QM(time per unit detected by mass air flow sensor 4) accumulate, gradually calculate The total amount of the air capacity from diagnosing and starting i.e. sucks air capacity accumulated value QMtotal.It addition, such as processed by weighted average Calculate the flow of suction air capacity QM(time per unit detected by mass air flow sensor 4) meansigma methods i.e. to suck air capacity average Value QMav.And, based on this suction air capacity meansigma methods QMav, such as, utilize prescriber forms, calculate and suck air capacity accumulation Threshold value WKSTRG.That is, when performing the program of Fig. 2 every time, obtain suction air capacity meansigma methods QMav, suction correspondingly is set Enter air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG.Additionally, this suction air capacity meansigma methods QMav represents after conditions for diagnostics is set up, i.e. diagnoses Suction air capacity QM that start time rises average.
It addition, in step 3, the output also calculating the downstream exhaust sensor 11 from starting to diagnose inverts times N. This calculating is such as carried out by following manner, i.e. enter the direction reduced that increases of the output of downstream exhaust sensor 11 Row monitors, when when transferring minimizing to from increase or transferring increase to from minimizing, increases by 1 on N.
Then, enter step 4 from step 3, by the suction of suction air capacity accumulated value QMtotal up to now Yu this moment Enter air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG to compare, it is determined that whether suck air capacity accumulated value QMtotal more than or equal to sucking Air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG.Without reaching to suck air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG, then terminate program.Therefore, exist The period that state that the conditions for diagnostics of step 1 is set up is lasting, step 3, the process of 4 repeatedly, until sucking air capacity accumulated value QMtotal reaches suction air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG corresponding with suction air capacity meansigma methods QMav gradually obtained Only, the measurement of output reversion times N is persistently carried out.
If sucking air capacity accumulated value QMtotal to be more than or equal to suck air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG, then from step Rapid 4 enter step 5, output up to now inverts times N and compares with reversion frequency threshold value Nmin.If output reversion Times N more than or equal to reversion frequency threshold value Nmin, then enters step 6, it is determined that normal for downstream exhaust sensor 11.If Output reversion times N less than reversion frequency threshold value Nmin, then enters step 7, it is determined that for the deterioration of downstream exhaust sensor 11 Deng malfunction.It is of course also possible to be not that the diagnosis with 1 time is finally judged to fault, but the most true with diagnosis repeatedly It is set to fault.
Fig. 3 represents the spy of suction air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG set relative to sucking air capacity meansigma methods QMav Property.As shown by the solid line in the drawings, suck air capacity meansigma methods QMav the biggest, suck air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG and be set to the biggest Value.This following new opinion based on the present inventor: if as it was previously stated, the suction air capacity of internal combustion engine (time per unit Flow) big, then by the flow velocity height of catalyst-assembly and the aerofluxus of the exhaust sensor in downstream, the row needed for 1 output reversion Tolerance accumulated value and suck air capacity accumulated value big, it is illustrated that characteristic slope (i.e. relative to suck air capacity meansigma methods QMav Increase and suck the increase ratio of air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG), be set as offsetting and above-mentioned caused by flow velocity increase Effect.Here, according to the former understanding of those skilled in the art, as shown in comparative example shown in broken lines, with Suck air capacity meansigma methods QMav independently from the size, suction air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG is set to steady state value.Additionally, In the example of Fig. 3, become relative to the increase sucking air capacity meansigma methods QMav, suck air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG with line Property, the form that changes the most continuously, but also be able to be set to the increase relative to sucking air capacity meansigma methods QMav, make suction air Amount accumulation threshold WKSTRG is with stepped change.
Fig. 4 is the sequential chart of the example illustrating deterioration diagnosis, vehicle velocity V SP is shown respectively, sucks air capacity QM, air-fuel Than feedback control air fuel ratio correction factor alpha, suck air capacity meansigma methods QMav, suck air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG and Suck air capacity accumulated value QMtotal.Additionally, suction air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG being compared to each other and suction air capacity are tired out Product value QMtotal is superposition diagram on same hurdle.
Here, in the example in fig. 4, when the deterioration carrying out downstream exhaust sensor 11 diagnoses, when usual The air-fuel ratio feedback control of detection air-fuel ratio based on upstream side exhaust sensor 10, switches to based on downstream exhaust sensor The air-fuel ratio feedback control of the detection air-fuel ratio of 11.Air-fuel ratio in this detection air-fuel ratio based on downstream exhaust sensor 11 In feedback control, the returing cycle of air fuel ratio correction factor alpha, by the shadow of the oxygen storage capacity of the catalyst in the 1st catalyst-assembly 7 Ring, therefore, the air-fuel ratio feedback control of this cycle and the detection air-fuel ratio based on upstream side exhaust sensor 10 when carrying out usual Returing cycle time processed is compared, relatively long.
In the example of this Fig. 4, being more than or equal to the moment t1 of setting in speed, conditions for diagnostics is set up, as suction Air capacity accumulated value QMtotal and start to suck the accumulation of air capacity QM.This suction air capacity accumulated value QMtotal is over time Pass through and be gradually increased.On the other hand, as it has been described above, all calculate suction air capacity meansigma methods QMav when performing program every time, Correspondingly set suction air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG.Additionally, in the diagram, amplify diagram computing in order to illustrate and hold Between-line spacing.And, in this example embodiment, at moment t2, suck air capacity accumulated value QMtotal and reach to suck air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG, thus terminate during diagnosis.In the diagram, the output of not shown downstream exhaust sensor 11, if but downstream row Gas sensor 11 not deterioration, then invert in the way of substantially following the conversion of air fuel ratio correction factor alpha, therefore, to from time Output reversion times N in during carving t1 diagnosis to moment t2 measures, by this measurement result and reversion number of times threshold Value Nmin compares, thus carries out the diagnosis deteriorated.
Additionally, as air fuel ratio correction factor alpha, (such as can not send out at catalyst in situation about meeting some requirements Wave the condition etc. of oxygen storage capacity) under, directly use common by detection air-fuel ratio based on upstream side exhaust sensor 10 Air-fuel ratio feedback control and produce the air fuel ratio correction factor alpha of periodic increase and decrease, carry out deterioration diagnosis, or, it is possible to Temporarily to cancel the air-fuel ratio feedback control of detection air-fuel ratio based on upstream side exhaust sensor 10, in order to carry out diagnosing and strong Make to property processed air fuel ratio correction factor alpha with the cycle increase and decrease of regulation.
It addition, as reversion frequency threshold value Nmin, can be fixed value, or, it is also possible to it is and engine operating conditions Or the returing cycle of air fuel ratio correction factor alpha now etc. is corresponding and the value that suitably sets.
As it has been described above, in the above-described embodiments, its result, corresponding to from diagnosis start time t1 to diagnosis finish time t2 Till the average air capacity that sucks of period i.e. suck air capacity meansigma methods QMav, this suction air capacity meansigma methods QMav is the biggest, Suction air capacity accumulated value QMtotal terminating to diagnosis is the biggest.Air capacity QM(often list is being sucked therefore, it is possible to offset The flow of bit time) relatively big and by the higher feelings of the flow velocity of the 1st catalyst-assembly 7 or the aerofluxus of downstream exhaust sensor 11 Under condition, the impact on the output reversion of downstream exhaust sensor 11, improves the precision of deterioration diagnosis correspondingly.Especially Ground, by gradually calculating suction air capacity meansigma methods QMav from diagnosis start time t1, correspondingly gradually sets suction Enter air capacity accumulation threshold WKSTRG such that it is able to grasp the shadow of suction air capacity QM easily changed at short notice exactly Ring, and it is directly reflected in diagnosis.Thus, it is not result in that such as diagnosing the required time becomes the frequency that is long and that diagnose Decline such unfavorable condition.
